Let Newton Be! (2009-12)
“This is the theater of ideas at its very finest. It is mesmerizing, inventive, and provocative”
“From the ramblings, jottings, accounts, and notebooks-the spillings over of Newton’s strange inner world- Baxter creates a unified Newton who will move and awe modern audiences.”

“The play is a fascinating medium for considering the overall coherence both of Newton’s self and of his intellectual projects.”
“With such rich historical sources, a complex subject and an entertaining script, the Menagerie Theatre Company’s slick and thought-provoking performance of Let Newton Be! fully deserves the extended run it has enjoyed in the UK and will enjoy in the US and Canada over the next few weeks.” Times Higher Education
